ACCESSORIES

Become familiar with these terms 

before operating the unit.

CFM

:  Cubic feet per minute.

SCFM:

  Standard cubic feet per 

minute; a unit of measure of air 

delivery.

PSIG:

  Pounds per square inch 

gauge; a unit of measure of pressure.

Code Certification: 

Products that 

bear one or more of the following 

marks: UL, CUL, ETL, CETL, have 

been evaluated by OSHA certified 

independent safety laboratories and 

meet the applicable Underwriters 

Laboratories Standards for Safety.

Cut-In Pressure:

  While the motor 

is off, air tank pressure drops as 

you continue to use your accessory. 

When the tank pressure drops to a 

certain low level the motor will restart 

automatically.  The low pressure at 

which the motor automatically restarts 

is called "cut-in" pressure.

Cut-Out Pressure:

  When an air 

compressor is turned on and begins 

to run, air pressure in the air tank 

begins to build.  It builds to a certain 

high pressure before the motor 

automatically shuts off - protecting 

your air tank from pressure higher 

than its capacity.  The high pressure 

at which the motor shuts off is called 

"cut-out" pressure.

Branch Circuit: 

Circuit carrying 

electricity from electrical panel to 

outlet.

This air compressor pump is capable 

of running continuously. However, to 

prolong the life of your air compressor, 

it is recommended that a 50%-75% 

average duty cycle be maintained; that 

is, the air compressor pump should 

not run more than 30-45 minutes in 

any given hour.
